ISLAMABAD: Fresh evidence in the case of a love story gone terribly wrong revealed that the murder of an unfaithful lover in an act of revenge was more gruesome than previously imagined.

Maira, the jilted girlfriend of 20-year-old Kamran, not only orchestrated his murder, but made her accomplices hack his body to pieces, all the while capturing the sadistic moment on her cellphone.

Police sources told The Express Tribune that pictures of Kamran’s body were found on her cell phone and the laptop of one of the suspects, Umair Ali Khan. “The pictures show Umair chopping off Kamran’s hands after stabbing him to death,” said a police official.

It was unclear why the suspects captured the evidence on camera, but police speculated than the betrayed girl’s fury may have clouded her judgement.

Maira Maryam, 17, claimed that Kamran had trapped her in love, using her to fulfil his sexual appetite, and then dumped her.

Later when he began offering her to his friends, Maira could not tolerate it and decided to kill him with her own hands, police said.

She managed to win Umair’s sympathy, who was also Kamran’s cousin, and prepared the murder plan with him.

The girl purchased two bullets and was looking for a pistol, but Umair convinced her to let him kill Kamran, police said.

On December 20 last year, Umair, along with Muhammad Lateef and Hasnat, called the victim to a spot near Shakarparian, tempting him with a girl.

Hasnat stood watch outside, while Umair and Lateef took him into a forest and killed him.

Maira, who was already there, took pictures of the gruesome act.

The perpetrators were arrested on February 10 after Kamran’s phone calls traced the police to them.

Police could only find the victim’s jacket and shoes from the site. The boy’s family, residents of sector G-6/1, were informed about his murder.

“The suspects confessed to bringing knives and choppers in a bag which suggests they had planned to dispose of
the body with the help of these tools,” said a police official.

Police are still on the lookout for Kamran’s body while his family anxiously await a proper burial.

“They are shifting the blame of disposing the body on each other. They are not revealing the location where they dumped his remains,” said a police official.

After dumping his body and fleeing the scene, the suspects uploaded the images on Umair’s laptop. These images can prove strong evidence against them during their trial.

On Monday, Umair tried to commit suicide at the Aabpara Police Station by hanging himself from the ceiling of the lockup with the help of a rope, but an official intervened on time.
